Yeah there’s no good reason to restrict trade with the eu. They’re the most similar economy to us and we’ve found a reasonable balance. When we compete it’s often beneficial to both economies and where we don’t it’s in deeply intertwined ways. The sophisticated machinery you buy from the Netherlands may use parts from Chicago and be the best tool for making products in either Czechia or Alabama.
Honestly Europe had more cause to tariff us over our lax regulations on labor, environmentalism, and consumer protection resulting in an unfair advantage.
